LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Apg. 23.-From a
gentleman who arrived here from Indian
Territory it is learned that a. terrible
tragedy was enacted in the Chickasaw
nation, resulting in the fatal wonnding
of three persons. Two families, named
Harris and Graham, from Indiana, were
.tFayeling overland to Texas through ths
Indian country, and two OF the Graham
boys, aged ~ and 81 respectively, became
involved in a dispute with Harrison and
his son. The quarrel grew out OF the
fact that one OF the Grahams was enam-
orsd of Hsrrison's daughter and wished
TO marry her. The Harrisons opposed
the match on the ground That young Ora
ham was ~dissipated. Graham pointed a
pistol at the elder Harrison and told him
he would kill him unless he consented to
tho marriage. Hnrrison's son, believing
his fathers HE endangered, shot Gra-
hane in the breast, iniicting a mortal
wound. The brother OF Graham then
fred at young Harrison, wounding him
In the right arm. Meanwhile tho elder
Harrison had armed himself with 8 rifle,
and as he approached the Graham boy
who had been wounded suddenly raised
himself and shot the old man twice. The
women of the party, who had stopped
Some distance behind, now appeared on
the scene and disarmed the combatants,
who at last accounts were reported to be
dying.

A Chicago Man Presented 10 Queen

LONDON, Aug. 23.-Mr. Frank H. Col
lier, of Chicago, was the recipient of q
private audience with the queen at Os-
borne house, and presented to her mai
esty the jubilee address of residents Of
Chicago of British birth, or parentage.
In presenting the address Mr.. Collier
said. "Your majesty, in behalf of so, 900
people of the city of Chicago of British
birth or parentage, it gives me great
pleasure to present to you this congrat-
ulatory jubilee address. Though sepa-
rated far from our mother land, our
hearts still beat warmly with love and
devotion for England's queen
The queen replied: 81 thank you and
tho people you represent for the address
and thank you personally for your own
kind words. My answer to the address
you will find in this paper The queen
then handed to Mr.. Collier her formal re-
| ply to the address which is as follows:
81 thank you for the address you have
presented to me. Coming as 1T does
from persons of English birth beyond the
seas who retain feelings of love for their
mother country and sympathy with her,
receive it with peculiar satisfaction.
That the people of Chicago should have
given expression to these kind sentt-
ments not only toward the Anglo-Saxon
race of these realms but also toward my.
self, is to me a source of much gratifica-
ton and sustains me In the belief that
the friendship and goodwill which now
exists between the two countries an5
which ! have always endeavored to pro
mote, are of a real and enduring charac
ter.
Mr.. Collier was driven from Osborn,
house to Cowes in one of the royal car
riages and returned to London. He wa,
asked by a reporter whether he kissed th,
queens hand, and replied: mo. sir,
did not for the reason that it would have
been improper, as / am not a British sub
ject, but am proud to be an American
citizen. ] consider the fact that tn,
queen granted 3 private audience for tn,
purpose of presenting the address & COM
pliment, not only to the British resident
of Chicago, but to the citizens of Chi
cago generally. The whole proceedingi

that the queen absolutely refused to re

ing will not BIZ composed OF a class OF
persons that the government can afford to
ignore but on the contrary will include
q large number OF highly respectable and
responsible Irishmeh and Englishmen,
exclusive of the score or more of British
members of the house Of commons who
voluntarily signifled their willingness to
be present as soon as this fact wal made
known to them that the meeting WAS
projected. Mr.. Chamberlain's remark in
his speech at Birmingham Saturday even
ing that the governments PROCLAMATION
would do the league more good than
harm was true as anything he said to his
followers. It has benefited the league
inestimably and it Ia absolutely certain
that further action on the part of the
government with a view to suppress the
organization will help it still more.
Since the announcement of the procla-
nation several members of parliament
have become members of the league, to
accentnate their sympathy with that
body and their dissent from the policy OF
the ministry, and many more stand ready
to follow their example. 1t is asserted

This wholesale acceptance by English
members of the leagues principles can.
not fail to undeceive the popular mind in
Great Britain as to the dangerous char
acter of the organization, and restore
confidence in the breasts of the leaguers
who have been wRvering between hope
and fear.
Mr.. Gladstone is suffering somewhat
from the effects of a cold, out will be il
